I've had a hankering for lasagna lately. I think I might make one tonight or tomorrow night. I want to try sweet italian sausage in it. We'll see how it goes.
Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.
Tonight it is curried lamb with corn and naan. Yum Yum. Drool Drool.
Just another day at the office!
Tonight was grilled pork shoulder marinaded in garlic herb olive oil. Add stir fry veg on a bed of rice, along with new sweet potato from the back yard. Yum.
Tonight I am making Caprice.
2 ripe garden tomatoes sliced.
Sliced mozzarella cheese
Homeade basil pesto
Salt pepper
olive oil.
Slice tomatoes and cheese. Arrange in a circle on a plate alternating a tomato slice and a cheese slice.
Drizzle some olive oil on the top.
Mix a bit of olive oil into a tablespoon of pesto and drizzle onto tomatoes and cheese.
Sprinkle some salt next.
Sprinkle some fresh ground pepper next.
Serve. Yum Yum.
I am serving garlic bread up with this and some pasta with a little spaghetti sauce and chicken.
Just another day at the office!
Damn't Roger, it's gotten to the point where I hate reading this thread because your dinner plans always put to shame the crap that I make.
But seriously, I am envious of your skills!

You can be envious of my skills, just as long as you are not envious of my size. LOL

Nice! Last time we went for Indian the waiter came up and asked, "How's your naan"? I thought he said, "How's your mom"? It was pretty funny when I realized my error.
Tonight, I'm gonna make a nice Valentines Day Dinner. Flat iron steak cooked in the cast iron skillet with a red wine reduction. Garlic and chive roasted fingerling potatoes, spring mix salad, and asparagus. I can't wait! Now to figure out what kind of cigar goes with a Bordeaux.
Tonight I am making rib eye steak and coconut shrimp. Served up with some Ginger Garlic Orange dipping sauce. Made some heart shaped sugar cookies for desert. Yum Yum!
Just another day at the office!

Roast Pork loin warpped in bacon

My wife, being from the US and having lived a large portion of her life in the south AND having cooked professionally has introduced me to some seriously yummy (and artery hardening) dishes.
One of my favorites being her fried liver. Now, I've always liked liver but her chicken livers are to die for and her beef liver is freaking amazing. This past hunting season I brought home some moose and deer liver.
I'd forgotten the year before and got an earful from my wife about not bringing home moose liver so I made extra sure I brought lots back this year.
Anyhow, long story short, she made moose liver the other night. I can't begin to describe how good it was. All I can say is, I ate wayyyyyy to much!
The thing about wild liver is you need to soak it in milk for a good 12 hours before cooking it or else it has a very strong iron taste. I didn't know that but luckily my wife did and soaked it properly before cooking it.
I can't wait to try some deer and elk liver now!
Oh, she made Butternut squash with it and I made a pile of mashed potatoes.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Tonight we are having Guiness Elk Stew.
2 1/2Lbs. of Elk stew meat.
1 1/2 sweet onion.
1 Cup of carrots
3 Cups of sliced or quartered mushrooms
6 Medium potatoes peeled halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick.
6 tablespoons of beef broth.
5 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of flour.
Season salt.
pepper.
1 bottle of Guiness beer and a few more to sample along with supper.
3 Cups of water.
Cut potatoes, carrots, beef base, garlic and 1 cup of water put in crock pot.
Cut onions a 1/4 inch dice and cook in some oil along with the mushrooms.
When onions are soft and lightly carmalized, add 1 cup of water to pan and let simmer 1 minuet then put contents into crock pot.
In a medium bowl miix meat a good amount of season salt and some pepper together with the flour. Heat a pan with oil (enough to cover bottom) and brown elk pieces on all sides. Add to crock pot.
With the same pan (flour crust will develop on the pan from frying elk) take 1/2 a bottle of Guiness beer and de-glaze the pan working up flour bits. Add to crock pot.
Add remaining beer to crock pot. (not the two to save for dinner).
Cook for 5-7 hours on low. You may need to thicken it when it is finished. If you do mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch and 2 tbsp of cold water together and add to stew. Stir well and serve.
Serve it up with the beer and some bread and butter. Yum yum!
Just another day at the office!
holy crap does that sound good, I just copied that to try this weekend, but I am going to substitute with deer meat.
